Thing 13 Reflection on Things 1-12

What have I found most useful so far?

I like Firefox and igoogle and blogging is useful to keep records of what I have done, although I doubt I will keep that up after this exercise.

I'm not very confident with the new "things". I find there are so many "things" you can do with the "things" and, as with  most "things" they are only easy when you know how. There is a lot of finding out how to do "things" I might not want to do,  which is quite time consuming.

However, as with the general introduction of email, the more you use something the more it becomes part of your everyday life; so, when twitter is the best way to keep up with something, that's what I'll be doing.

Thing 12 Facebook

I had a look at Facebook and, although I don't think it is for me on a personal level,  the sites for the libraries were all very good; including, of course, the UoW Library. The new Birmingham Libary looks enormous. It is some years since I was lucky enough to visit The British Library. It was nice to see the lovely seat/sculpture is pictured.
There are numerous links on Facebook pages and you can interact and leave comments.  A good way to advertise information and get feed back now that so many students use this medium.

Thing 10 and 11 Twitter post 2

OK; so now I have found 2 random  #UoW23 tweeters to follow. I am now supposed to interact with them.
I expect I'll just say "Hello I'm following you."  and hope it doesn't scare them.
Also a stranger form the USA is now following me on Twitter. I can't imagine why?
This is all taking up much more time than I had anticipated.
Now I find I can't send a message to a person who is not following me. That's probably a good thing.
I had better follow my followers then.
That worked and, talking of work, I had better do some.

Things 10 & 11 - Twitter

Well I've done that now. Set up a twitter account. Don't seem to be able to find anyone to follow on #UoW23. Perhaps next week; or have I done something wrong?
Will have a look at Thing 12 next week.

Thing 9 - Firefox

Only a week late but I have installed Firefox with lovely daffodils at the top of the screen.

I had a go at googling myself and found out that my middle daughter is still living with me. I must find out where she is hiding.
